"When I'm with the atmosphere, when I'm with the colours, when I'm with the trees, when I'm with my other fellow beings, that's when I'm most ensouled."

— Francis Weller

Numinous Integration

Curiosity about our emergent true nature allows us to shine forth and be recognized as kin by the community of all beings.

By exploring what arises in our psychedelic experiences, we can transform even the most challenging ~and joyful~ experiences into deep understanding and embody it throughout our entire life. This can be enhanced with my support as your integration practitioner due to my years of experience and training in the realm of entheogens and the numinous. I am here to support you in your process.

My Experience:

I began assisting therapist-led psychedelic journeys and retreats in 2019, and have supported over 300 participants in over 50 ceremonies in large (23) to small (1) groups.

My trainings include:

~Somatic Abolitionism with Education for Racial Equity, and Resmaa Menakem,
~Academy of Therapy Wisdom with Bayo Akomolafe,
~Ancestral Medicine with Daniel Foor,
~Diversity, Equity, and Social Justice through the Chacruna Institute,
~Hakomi with Manuela Mischke-Reeds
~Poly Vagal Theory with Deb Dana
~Somatic Trauma Therapy with Various Trainers

~ Certificate in Integrated Somatic Trauma Therapy

I have a combined 3o years facilitating, participating, and assisting in multiple traditions, including: vegetalismo tradition of the Shipibo-Conibo people, specifically with Manuela Mahua, and on-going in Richardo Amaringo's lineage with Soi Bari, the Reclaiming Wicca tradition, Shona ceremonies in Zimbabwe, Lakota and Quw'utsun ceremonies. I am a Zen Buddhist and took my Bodhisattva vows in 2017 through Eihei Peter Levitt.

How i can support you:

With somatic and counselling practices, we will explore:

PREPARING FOR YOUR JOURNEY

~ what is your desire to dive into psychedelics, and what therapeutically worked before, and what didn't.

~how to find the right practitioner

~ setting intentions and a container for you to go deeply, but gently, into your journey

~ locating and practicing other tools and supports, like breathing practices, somatics, and presencing techniques

~diet and nutrition

DURING YOUR JOURNEY:

~ how you can create a nurturing space for yourself

~ food, rest, and comfort needs

~ how you can create safe and gentle boundaries

AFTER YOUR JOURNEY:

~ reflecting on what happened or didn't happen and why

~ inquiring into your expectations/disappointments

~ understanding new, difficult, or confusing visions, body sensations, and thoughts

~ creating short and long-term practices at home

~ how to talk with loved ones about your journey

~ how to slowly and mindfully initiate the impulse for big life changes.

We will explore questions like:

~ How can you bring the intention you set for your journey into every moment?

~How can you be present with what is arising in you and what is already here wanting to be witnessed?

~ What is the psychedelic trying to teach or show you?

~How can you be the witness for your emergent true nature's expression in the world?

~How can you allow others and the world to support you to be your true self?

~What does it feel like to make all life a ceremony?

"cultivating a relationship with the numinous is cultivating a practice of self-inquiry, as we are the numinous embodied."

I am guided by the principle that all life is a ceremony that we don't briefly visit or attend, but every moment is an opportunity to be in ceremony. And when we are in a safe container with healthy guides, like psychedelics can provide, we can practice the ceremony of life.

I believe care should be affordable. I offer a sliding scale:

$75-$125 for 50 minute sessions.
